Question

$$30 + 6 p = 7 ( p + 6 ) - 5$$

Solve for p

$p=-7$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $7$ by $p+6$.

$$30+6p=7p+42-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $42$ to get $37$.

$$30+6p=7p+37$$

Subtract $7p$ from both sides.

$$30+6p-7p=37$$

Combine $6p$ and $-7p$ to get $-p$.

$$30-p=37$$

Subtract $30$ from both sides.

$$-p=37-30$$

Subtract $30$ from $37$ to get $7$.

$$-p=7$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$p=-7$$
